And buying from local farmers is a great idea. I wish there was a cost effective and convenient way of doing it.

Buying from local farmers is getting more easy to do. I buy pretty much all beef, chicken and pork from local growers that invite you to visit the farm and actually enjoy showing you around.
Local organic produce is also more easily available. A Google search for your area can put you on local farms near you.
I'll take going out to a farm and meeting the farmers and seeing them on a weekly basis, over going to Wal Mart or any chain grocery store and have the cashier pitch you food down the conveyor belt and drop it into a bag, like it's a softball or basketball.
